PinePhone any good? Sounds like it’s still a bit of a hobbyist device but if it can do the basics of texting and calling that’s all I need.

billiam0202@lemmy.world 2 months agoIf you buy a Pixel, you’re supporting Google which is probably worse.
Maybe a Nothing Phone or a OnePlus?

You pay them a one time fee. The data you share with them is what makes google money. So from that perspective it’s like direct buy over a loan. They can’t leech you dry when you are not on loans.

Worth it for the awesome work GrapheneOS devs have done. Heck, buy used.
Pixel is just one of the safest android phones in terms of hardware security.

Buy a used one then. GrapheneOS is by far the best mobile operating system. I have used Calyx and have a Lineage tablet. Neither of them compare to how well GrapheneOS works in and of itself as well as with sandboxed Play services
